The time he foiled a bank robbery by a fake Santa Claus and battled with him on the back of of moving truck full of dead Christmas trees. Or the time when, dressed as a bear, be bounded out of the woods to wrestle an inhaler away from a St. Bernard in order to save a sick kid. Or the time he threw a smoothie into the face of a guy who was going to beat up a clown and then saved the clown from falling of the balcony at Westfarms.
